Although the Dodgers stranded another eight men on base tonight, Matt Kemp's bases-clearing double off Jonathan Sanchez in the fourth inning was enough to get them the win. Hiroki Kuroda was strong, allowing only a second-inning home run to Travis Ishikawa over 6 1/3 innings.

Hong-Chih Kuo, Ronald Belisario and George Sherrill combined for 1 2/3 scoreless, and Jonathan Broxton got his 25th save, but not before giving up a home run to Bengie Molina on a 97-mph fastball.

Chad Billingsley has been scratched from his Wednesday start, leaving Tim Lincecum to face Mr. TBA. Chalk that up as a loss, so by winning tonight, the Dodgers have assured themselves of a shot at taking two of three in this series. It's encouraging.

I like how your juvenile comment, though likely referring to the post immediately above your comment, can actually refer back to just about any other comment above it. And, admittedly, most of the juvenile content being mine.

Folks, just got back to the hotel from the game.Remember this; rbnlaw delivered and represented the Blue in the SF. Early thoughts from ATT: lots of drunks, lots of fights, lots of, "Dodgers Suck" after the game.

My response? "Yes we do. 6.5 games worth of suck."Great trip to the Bay Area.

At first last night, I thought Torre was double switching Castro into the 9 hole instead of doing the obvious and putting Loney in the nine hole and taking the last out Loretta...which for defensive purposes should have been done.

I would like to see McDonald in there as I think he has the best chance to put up a performance to match Lincecum. He seems to have his confidence back too.

No lie. Cable car races, guess the attendance, a find the hidden ball game, a high/low game using jersey numbers, the easiest trivia questions in the world, but the biggest and best jumbotron I've ever seen. It could be Hi-Def.
